Eggless Pinacolada Doughnuts

This months challenge for the Eggless Bakers Group  came as a surprise because doughnuts was something which we love a lot and so I have made them at home before. So for the first time I felt confidant of myself .

The stuffed pinacolada doughnuts that I have made are my personal favorites . They taste just out of this world and so wanted to share this pleasure with you all.

For baking eggless I substituted eggs with curds this time and used 2 tbsp curds for 1 egg.

But as you all know that chocolate is an all time favourite with kids ( and  most of the adults too ) I made some with the chocolate glaze for my son , for whom chocolate is the ultimate and only flavour in the world worth enjoying.

Thanks gayathri  and jayanthi for such a wonderful experience.
